He Got BANNED From The Gym For This…

Banned for 24 hrs, and she'll let him finish ban...

My socks are cleaner than my gym shoes are anyway.

It might not always be the gym's idea. It might be their insurance company's. It's phenomenally expensively to insure a commercial gym. The more restrictions you have, the more affordable the policy. Compare the monthly membership rates between a Crossfit box vs Planet Fitness.

That’s crazy, I’ve seen people doing heavy lifts in socks at every gym I’ve ever been a member of

“You can’t come back for a day”
“I GOT BANNED”😖🥺

[tenzinglama]

Dude seemed super chill, why not just give him a heads up instead of straight of banning him 🤨

[leonfire]

My gym encouraged me to take my shoes off!

[SkeetersCousin]

I think it's liability for them if he ends smashing his toes from dropping a weight.

People saying bare foot is gross..he’s clearly wearing socks? This really isn’t that bad and all the gyms I’ve been to are not mad about it lol.. not everyone can afford 150$ bare foot shoes too, but I agree that would be optimal in a gym

I wear Vibram Five Fingers when at the gym. Basically football catching gloves on my feet.

Lifting isn’t the problem it’s having your feet expose to falling weights means liability and law suits. It’s all about the money baby

I find the wider your stance is for a squat or deadlift, the more detrimental padded running sneakers become for performance. Those shoes are not ideal for conventional deadlifts, but they are meaningfully worse when you are actively trying to spread the floor apart with a wider stance lift.

Bro should submit a 30 page review on how MOST shoes are terrible for his feet

[thejimineffect]

So true, I squatted barefoot on my most recent leg day and I felt so much stronger than usual, I repped out an old pr for 12 reps when I was previously only able to get 8 reps max on it.

Running shoes have high mid sole cushion which gives instability that potentially causes injuries

Gyms get blamed if someone gets athletes foot.

[thrashinmadman]

My gym is ok with adults Squating or deadlifting without shoes as long as you know we act like adults wear socks and dont walk around barefoot. They dont let any of the teenagers that come do it because when they did they just ended up walking around barefoot.

America's are weird they don't remove even when they're at home or someone else's.

[BradleyZS]

I told them I'd have to fuck up pretty bad for there to be any risk to me feet during a squat or deadlift. The woman literally brought me the terms and conditions as if I'd care, didn't even get banned.
